Valley Kids

Bio

Valley Kids are Nai McGregor, Daniel Sugrue, Peter Riley and Ihaka Tukapua. The musically refreshing five piece brings experiences from NZ heavy hitters such as Tomorrow People, Sons Of Zion, NLC, and H4lf Cast to craft full and energetic arrangements that move over solid Soul, RnB, Reggae and rock grooves. Deft guitar riffs weave with heavy synths, three part harmonies and deep, warm melodies to bind each song together.

Drawing on influences such as Kora and L.A.B, Valley Kids have it all. Honed musicianship and a sound that acknowledges its soul, funk and reggae roots while punching through the swath of generic bands of their demographic. The combination of each member's mana and skills builds a style that is both familiar and cleverly layered. With music that resonates beyond the stage and speakers, Valley Kids are a band from the streets, for the people.

Formed by Sugrue and Riley, in late 2020, Valley Kids has already made a significant splash, releasing 3 singles and multiple live material in less than a year. V.K's first singled garnered them a NZ On Air 'New Tracks' compilation and was quickly followed up with their sophomore single Make Me Feel, produced by DJ Mu AKA Fitchie of Fat Freddy's fame at the legendary Bay's Studio. With the latest release of their Te Reo adaptation of their first single Moni, Valley Kids are making up for lost time due to to falling victim to the lockdowns during their formation by playing a multitude of shows across New Zealand before settling in and recording their first album set to be released 2023.
